It's been over a year that we've been hearing about a Stapleton bakery that will be serving beautiful Sullivan St. bread. Will it really happen? Was it just a dream?

Yes, it's happening any moment now. Silva Popaz is proprietor of Vida --- the restaurant around the corner from the planned bakery. She has the bakery space all ready. The only thing she needs now is time and an extra set of hands: Silva is working as executive chef at Vida at the moment.

Just to get the bakery open, she's planning to bake/sell her goods from Vida while stretched thin on help.

C'mon, Silva! We're pulling for you!

Vida is located at 381 Van Duzer St., 718-720-1501. The bakery is located on the corner of Beach and Jackson Streets.
